Joe tracked the height of his Dalmatian puppy from age 13 weeks to 25 weeks. He graphed the data and determined the line of best fit is y = 1.12x + 28.78. What does the slope represent in this situation?

• The puppy weighed 28.78 pounds at age 13.
• For every week that goes by, the puppy gains 1.12 pounds.
• The puppy gains a pound every 1.12 weeks.
• The puppy weighs 1.12 pounds when it was born.
